The way Bobby Wagner played last season, it was hard to believe the Seahawks’ middle linebacker was only a rookie.

He not only led the team with 140 tackles, Wagner’s total was the fifth-highest in franchise history behind Terry Beeson (153 in 1978), Chad Brown (150 in 1998), Anthony Simmons (147 in 2000) and Michael Jackson (141 in 1981). Wagner also finished second in voting for NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

The way Wagner approached this offseason – with a lead-by-example commitment to getting better – it’s hard to believe he’s only 23. And just barely, as today is Wagner’s 23rd birthday.

“Bobby has put the work in,” defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said. “He’s doing the things when no one is watching – studying video, putting in the extra work in the weight room and the meeting room.”

So on Wagner’s birthday it turns out that he might be the gift of a second-round draft choice who just keeps on giving.

The event will be held June 17-20 at the NFL Films office in Mt. Laurel, N.J.

“This boot camp is more than an introduction into many facets of the sports broadcasting industry,” Troy Vincent, senior VP of NFL Player Engagement, said in the release announcing the event. “It is a hands-on, demanding course for current and former players who seek a career in broadcasting after their NFL playing experience. Nearly 40 percent of the players who participated in past camps have earned broadcasting jobs.”

Brown played linebacker for the Seahawks from 1997-2004. He led the team in tackles for three consecutive seasons (1997-99) and was voted to the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team. Watters was the team’s leading rusher for three consecutive seasons (1998-2000), while Feagles punted for the Seahawks from 1998-2002. Martin played in four games with the Seahawks last season.
